'We must reject the perennial prophets of doom and their predictions of the apocalypse. They are the heirs of yesterday's foolish fortune tellers. I have them, you have them ... and they want to see us do badly but we don't let that happen': Trump at Davos

Trump's speech at the Swiss ski resort of Davos contained little of the criticism he levelled at China and other countries during his last address in 2018. Some European leaders had been bracing for the President to turn his sights on the continent following skirmishes over French plans to impose a tax on American digital giants and punitive US tariffs on EU exports.

As Trump spoke in Davos, Democrats were preparing to begin the first day of the President's impeachment trial in the US Senate. Trump's criticism of "predictions of the apocalypse" appeared to be a swipe at Thunberg, the young Swedish climate activist who headlined a section of the summit titled, 'Averting a climate apocalypse'.

"From a sustainability perspective, the right, the left as well as the centre have all failed. No political ideology or economic structure has been able to tackle the climate and environmental emergency and create a cohesive and sustainable world. Because, in case you haven’t noticed, that world is currently on fire."
